Appendix A
Configuring iSCSI Initiators
Use the information in this appendix in conjunction with the documentation
supplied with your initiator to configure the iSCSI initiators that connect to the
iSCSI targets on your iSCSI Storage Appliance.
Configuring iSNS with the CLI
You can use Microsoft iSNS Server to discover targets on an iSCSI network. To
download the iSNS package, go to the Microsoft web site and search for isns . The
package installs a readme file that contains extensive release notes on bug fixes and
current iSNS limitations. Be sure to read these notes before attempting to use the
service.
Note
When you use iSNS, all iSCSI initiators and users can connect to any iSCSI
targets—no restrictions are enforced.
1
Install the iSNS service on a Windows server. Note the IP address of the server
on which the iSNS service is installed.
2
Open the CLI on the iSCSI Storage Appliance.
You can access the CLI two ways. Each method presents the CLI automatically:
• Attach a VT100 terminal emulation utility (for example, hyperterminal) to the
serial port of the iSCSI Storage Appliance.
Use these terminal emulation program settings to access the CLI:
• Null Modem Cable
• Baud Rate: 115,200
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop Bits: 1
• Flow Control: Off
Note
Flow control must be set to
Off
. Otherwise, the system will appear to
hang.
• Connect to the iSCSI Storage Appliance through a Telnet session (once the
initial network values have been set). Telnet to the IP address that is assigned
to the management port on the iSCSI Storage Appliance.
